Yes, that score was an abomination and I'm glad that Kathy acknowledged that. When I saw the 9.5 this was me 😨

That one armed giant the first Chinese gymnast did is banned now. The commentators were saying the judges wouldn't give her good points for it because they are trying to discourage it. The judges might be mad at them for doing it anyway. Until it's banned tho they should have to give them points for it ya know.

@@trumpgoogledmyyahoo7621 it was because they didn't give her credit for the Gaylord, so that caused her to only have a 9.8 start value. Which was stupid but I guess that was another of those dangerous moves they wanted to discourage so that is why the head judge used an excuse (lack of swing) as a potential .2 deduction or more to not give the start value even though it is clear by a 9.5 out of a 9.8 the actual judges did not take .2 for lack of swing although they might have taken something.

@Joy ce maybe they got a deduction for each lie they told about their age.

I agree it is nice to hear American commentator talk about non Americans being underscored and were 100% correct on the Chinese at this competition. However Bart and Kathy are noted for being biased in favor of Chinese gymnasts in general, so I wouldn't say they are unbiased by nature either.

Yep. It’s exactly why Dominique got herself emancipated and hasn’t spoken to her parents since. I don’t believe her children have ever met her folks- and wouldn’t blame her if that were the case. Her dad deserves a special place in hell.

rjh4736 he’s a narcissistic prick

She’s 5’4””. That’s not so tiny lol. Especially in this sport. Average woman is 5’6””

Me too. They are supportive and knowledgeable!

Meng Fei didn't have 10.0 start values in order to pull out the win. The 1993-1996 era was notorious for gymnasts not to have a 10.0 start value, especially when it came to the event finals when they needed an extra D element.

I agree she was definitely underscored on bars. I would have had either winning or 2nd to Dawes there. However her beam score was fair, her routine was very good but dismount was pretty bad. I think Moceanu was more overscored so she should have beaten her, but Dawes and Boginskaya deserved to score higher. Floor 2nd to Moceanu was about right, Moceanu was overscored as her dance was cheesy but she had much stronger tumbling. Overall hard to say, Meng Fei was clearly stronger than Moceanu on bars, but much weaker on vault so I think Moceanu probably still wins.

Seriously show my one comp where the Chinese aren't underscored.

There were a few Chinese women doing that skill, it was amazing. They were and still are (in my opinion) the best at UB.

@@trumpgoogledmyyahoo7621 I only know of Bi Wenjing, Meng Fei and Mo Huilan, do you know of any others

She was an alternate

I wish it were navy instead of black with red stripe in between the navy and the white.

Yes Dominique Moceanu's parents are Romanian.

Yes Dominique Moceanu's parents are from Romania.

Yes!! Moceanu’s too!!

Makayla Love Gymnastics yep hopefully he’s not allowed to ruin anymore women’s lives

Elizah Mimnaugh can you explain your a allegations?

HotMessMemories1 Larry Nassar was his gyms team doctor

@@HotMessMemories1 Welp. Those allegations turned out to be right, and he killed himself rather than go to prison.

Very sad though. She had a vaulting accident in 1998 whilst warming up and ended up paralysed from the neck down. She managed to eventually sue the Chinese federation for lack of care and quality. She also later on managed to have a baby.

SchlichteToven lighten up. Not meant to be perverted why make it. These are like family to each other

Yeah the prevalent sexual abuse “thing” might negate any defense

This man is John Geddert who was the coach of Jordyn Weiber and close friend of Larry Nassar. This is a disgusting man who is forbidden to coach since the Nassar scandal. Maybe, he is in jail now or he is waiting the judges sentence.

What Nassar did was abuse, but the butt pat is not sexual unless the hand lingers. A quick pat is something that people did back then to both genders to wish them well (yes, you will see men do this to men too)

@@Cmc995 I hope you know by now it was John Gedderts like someone else said here. He killed himself 🤣😂🤣😂🤣, he was a very disgusting dude. I hate it when anyone slaps my ass, I'd punch em in the balls 🤣

TrumpGoogled MyYahoo in her book she mentions a time when she introduced herself incorrectly, like giving the more “Americanised” (?) version of her name and was immediately like OMG why did I do that. Maybe this was the incident she was referring to

TrumpGoogled MyYahoo In her book, she explains how she would have anxiety over saying her last name in public when she was younger because it was hard for people to pronounce. When they filmed this intro clip, she was rehearsing in her head how she wanted to say it, and it came out as you heard here. But the correct way is M-oh-chee-ah-noo.

You heard right. I remember hearing something from her about it, it may have been in her book. I can’t remember the whole story but she admits she pronounced it wrong on purpose. I wish I could remember why!!!

It wasn’t pronounced wrong on purpose. She got really nervous and it came out wrong. She said she was embarrassed afterwards. I think it’s cute she messed up her own name out of nerves

+Sacconetards My feet used to get sweaty and slippery on beam, as well as during the mandatory full turn, I'd catch pinky toes sometimes on the beam edge. Started wearing beam shoes and it was better.
